Abandoning Quote by Minari Endou

“Don't misunderstand. There is no abandoning, or being abandoning. And you're not owned by your parents, either. You should understand... that you have no other master besides yourself. No one was forcing you to wait for a slow death... in such a lonely place.” quote by Minari Endou
